Beschreibung
Although designed primarily for desktop mapping and analysis, Geographic Information Systems have, for some years, been ‘coupled’ to other ‘allied’ technologies. This coupling or integration has occurred for some time due to the limitations in commercially available systems. It has occurred in several areas including visualisation (virtual reality), simulation (pedestrian, urban modelling), data storage and management (distributed or Internet GIS) and decision support. The chapters of the book, written by an international group of experts examine several of these discrete areas, focussing on the use of GIS and the technology it has been allied to.
Discusses a number of geospatial technologies, making up a significant part of the geospatial research and market Companion website with additional materials and links

From the reviews:
"The content of Frontiers of Geographic Information Technology is firmly rooted in concrete technical developments constructed from a sound theoretical perspective. … The book intends not just to educate but also to inspire. … This is an excellent book for an institution or research group to have in its library. Senior graduate students, postdocs, and faculty are strongly encouraged to read at least several chapters, think about the possibilities, and discuss with each other … ." (Phil A Graniero, Geomatica, Vol. 61 (1), 2007)
